Team SoloMid

TSM , il team campione del North America, è il team competitivo più vecchio di League of Legends. Tutti i cinque membri – Reginald, TheOddOne, Dyrus, Xpecial, e Chaox – hanno giocato nel Season One Championship (anche se Syrus era negli Epik GAmer), e il team è stato una forza dominante nella Season 2. Da quando Dyrus si è aggiunto al team nell’aprile del 2012, TSM non è mai stato sconfitto nel North American Circuit, l’ unica sconfitta è stata inflitta dal team coreano Azubu Blaze. TSM è ben conosciuto per l’ottima coordinazione , abilità nei teamfight, la loro epica gaming house ( la prima della scena professionale di LoL), e i loro fans entusiasti.

From North America, three of the longest running League of Legends teams advance to the World Championship: Team SoloMid, Dignitas, and Counter Logic Gaming. Many of the star players on each team – like Reginald, Dyrus, Scarra, and HotShotGG – have been playing League of Legends since beta, and the team websites have become pillars of the League of Legends community. These teams have been tested in battle, representing a competitive region that hosted eight Challenger Circuit events, including The MLG Spring Championship and IPL 4, and saw 11 teams earn circuit points over the course of the year. Although the region might not be considered the favorite, it’s possible that playing in front of a cheering home crowd will help one of these teams take home the title of Season 2 World Champion.

Team SoloMid

Team SoloMid, the North American Champions, is the oldest competitive League of Legends team. All five members – Reginald, TheOddOne, Dyrus, Xpecial, and Chaox – played at the Season One Championship (though Dyrus was on Epik Gamer), and the team was a dominant force in Season 2. Since adding Dyrus in April 2012, Team SoloMid has remained undefeated on the North American Challenger Circuit and their only loss was to the Korean team Azubu Blaze. Team SoloMid is best known for excellent coordination, team fighting ability, their epic gaming house (the first in the League of Legends pro scene), and their enthusiastic fans.
